Catching up on a few things:

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady released a statement on his Facebook page about Peyton Manning officially joining the Broncos: "I have a lot of respect for Peyton Manning as a person and as a player. He is a great role model and always puts the team first. And he is a great leader and representative for the NFL. Like always, it will be fun to compete against him this year when the New England Patriots play the Denver Broncos."

Patriots free agent end Mark Anderson visited the Ravens today, following previous travels to the Titans and Dolphins. Anderson received some initial interest from the Jaguars, but Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union reported the team "is not in the running right now." The Patriots and Anderson would like to make something work, but as has always been the case, he's going to have set his own market.

Safety LaRon Landry, who had visited the Patriots, signed with the Jets and offered a brief comment on his contact with the Patriots: "The meeting went well, but my heart was with the Jets,” he said. The Patriots didn't offer Landry a contract.
